Hey y'all, checking in for a short post from Wichita, as I road trip my way over to Wanderlust in CO.
I made good time today, considering I didn't leave until after noon (and a lovely lunch with my love) and the amount of construction going on in TX. You can tell we have a healthy infrastructure, and that people are working in TX; it's on I-35, believe me!
550 miles + today, at a nice clip in OK and KS. Oklahoma is actually much more beautiful than I remember. Some really incredible old-seabed upthrusted rock formations and some really interesting outcrops. Then I headed deeper into red dirt land, and on up to KS.
Apparently, in KS, as long as there are three or four cars doing it, you can drive up to 100 miles per hour, and just blend in. I really enjoyed that - the road is straight, the land gently rolling and my turbo-diesel was edging 50 mph (we're talking 600 miles per tank!). So, a great day to drive, overcast and not too hot. Traffic steady and people gracious.
I have an decade old car so I rock a 6-CD changer. I've had an opportunity to really genre-smash as I put things together - Elvis Costello, the Dead, Erykah Badu, and Dead Can Dance.
Here's what I can share with you - it's all what I heard.
"Never trust a woman who wears her pants too tight" - as a yoga teacher, that's pretty much every woman I know...
"You analyze me, try to despise me, and laugh as I stumble and fall,
well, there may come a day where I'll dance on your grave,
if unable to dance I'll still crawl across it,
unable to dance, I'll crawl!" - for many I've loved and not.
"So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night
And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright
Something shines around you that seems, to my delight
To give me just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little sweetness...
Just a little light." - I'm a Brent fan, always was, can't apologize, must love. That song just puts the yoga right into the Dead, seamlessly. I knew I was getting this message for years before I found the mat. Everything that rises must converge!
Give thanks and praise! See you at Wanderlust!
